Why Am / a jew?
North American Review. I


In less than one yea- my people will en-
ter the thirty-third century of its separate
existence as nation, and now you ask me
why am jew Certes, the reason must
be strong, since the same reason has ami
mated my ancestors all these centuries.
Why am l Jew2 Because in the spring
month of the year 244S a. m. my fathers
went forth from Egypt as nation des-
tined to march in the van of human prog
ress, called into existence only for the mere
purpose of leading, as the first-born of God,
his other children of earth to him, the
father of all.
am Jew because / believe that the
Jew is necessity to the world. / am a
Jew because / recognize the role of my ma
ton to be that OF the servant of God in
ministering to mankind's greatest wants.
am Jew because / understand and &C
knowledge that my people has no other
logical reason for its existence on the stage
of history, in the face of tempests, chang
ing scenes, "wars, alarums and excur-
sions"-in the face of all chronological law
and historic xperience-except as that
conservative principle without which prog.
ress becomes unreal and evanescent, and
civilization unstable.

caution should be to avoid exposing the

should be aired frequently. Many house
wives consider the airing OF the sleeping
room all sufficient, but this is a mistake.
Not only should mattresses be turned and
aired at least three times each week, but
pillows and holsters ought to be beaten,
shaken and exposed to the sun every two
or three days. If beds and their furnish
ings are not carefully cared for, the bedding
soon comes to have stuffy, disagreeable

is fresh and clean.
When you dust your rooms, begin with
the walls. A broom well covered with
cloth will be made to do this part well.
The walls should be cleaned in this way
at least once q week in rooms that are
much used. Picture cords or wires, the
backs of picture frames and the tops of
door aud window frames should be wiped
off with q damp cloth. Where there is
danger of ipjuripg pictures use dry cloth.
Curtains have great Partially for dust,
ana as often as you can get good draft
which will carry the dust out of the win
dow, give them a shaking and beating.
The window-sash, sill and glass should also
receive attention. On much of the furni.
ture damp and dry cloth are needed to-
gether. If there are inside shutters these
need the most tender care.

TCorrespondedce Journal of Agricultural
In raj ing chicks for early market it is
very desirable to have some breed that
grows verv fast during the early period of
its life, and experience soon shows that
there is = great deal of difference between
The breeds in this regard.
Some grow very fast and feather out in
less than month, which of course is a
protection to them and materially assists
in rapid growth at this time. If it is the
object Of the poultry breeder to sell broil-
ers for early market he should use some
variety of this kind that will grow fast
while young so as to be desirable for table
use at an early age.
Good crosses are perhaps better than the
pure stock when raised for market pur-
poses alone; as they seem TO grow faster and
generally make larger birds, which point
of course, is always desirable TO obtain. The
breeder should, however, be very careful
to dispose of all the half bred stock at mar
ket time, for II they are kept and aIlo we'd
to grow up on the place there is consider
able liability of their becoming mixed with
the pure stock, as they are oftentimes very
hard to distinguish in looks, but the for
eign blood will most surely show itself
sooner or later and generally when it is
least expected by the breeder.
To one who has not given the matter
much attention 1t would be surprising to
note the difference in the growth OF the
different breeds during the earlier part of
their life. For instance, such fowls as the
Houdans, or any Of the laying breeds, will
grow very fast for the first month or two
and generally mature earlier than the
larger breeds do, while on the other hand,
the larger breeds of the Asiatic classes are
very slow in their growth fur the first
month, at least, but after that time they
seem to take a jump and then grow re-
markably fast until they are fully metured.
These large breeds are undoubtedly the
best for marke. purposes when they are
kept all the season and sold during the fall
and winter; but my experience has been
that they are not the most profitable TO
raise for the earliest markets.
A cross between the two breeds will be
much better for early market and will par
take some Of the nature Of both breeds.

AS to the Pre- idsnt's Western Trip.

WAsHIEeTeN, June 3.-Postmaster Gen.
eral Villas said to-day that he did not desire
to be quoted with regard to the publication
in a Philadelphia paper purporfing to give
the Presidents plans for an extended
western trip, as it concerned the President
alene, but that h e would deny the truth of
the article so far Jas it said that he (the Post
master GeneraL was congnizant of such a
programme. II was not aware, nor had
he any intination, that the President had
any plans or contemplated an extended
western trip, and he was of the opinion
that the President had no such intention.

whom should wheat BE Cut.

IAmeriesn .Ag rculturist for June
The best time to cut wheat is point Of
great importance to the farmer. The ex-
eeptionally high price of Minnesota wheat
in our markets is largely due to the dry
atmosphere of the section in which it
xTows The most valuable constituents OF
= grain of wheat are gluten, starch and
small amount of phosphates Gluten forms
flesh; starch is a beat-producer and forms
fat. The per cent of gluten varies in diff
ferent kinds of wheat. Ohio wheats con-
tain 10 to Is per cent, while starch may
constitute from 90 to 60 per cent. OF the
kernel. Gluten is more nutritious than
starch, its composition more nearly resem-
bling the muscular tissue of animals.
Aside from the value of gluten as food,
it has valuable properties, in combination
with starch. for making bread. Wheat
containing a small amount OF gluten is
softer, and will make much whittier flour,
for the gluten imparts a yellowish shade.
But if flour contains too little gluten, it
will not rise even IL yeast be added. Gu
ten like glue) forms with water a te-
nacious paste, so that when fermentiVe
action begins in the dough, the gluten
forms cell around the carbOnlc acid gas
and retains it, causing the dough to rise.
When baked such bread is very light aud
sweet, though not so white as when little
gluten is present. Many farmers are in
dHced 10 cut their wheat too soon, because
the kernel remains large and plump from
the moisture contained in the starch.
Wheat containing large amount of gluten
will appear shrunken, because the gluten
readily yields its moisture but will be far
more valuable as food.
Repeated experiments have failed to
show any increase, either of starch or
gluten, from day to day, after wheat has
been cut. The only rule We can suggest,
which may apply to all varieties, is this
Delay cutting as long as compatible with
avoiding waste in handling. When cut,
secure it as promptly and perfectly as pos
sible. To make the beast bread, good,
sound, glutinous variety of wheat must be
soWn on sound dry land; it must get fully
ripe before it is harvested, be secured with.

Feeding Horses.
Rains and Win

Over oDe-half of the fees that are paid to
veterinaries are due to an impaired diges-
ton in the animals they are called on
to treat. The functions of the stomach
are so little known to the feeders of stock
that it is ignorance of natures Law that is
the primary cause of most diseases. Corn,
oats and hay are looked on as all that a
horse should need-and in a msjority of
cases is all that he gets. It makes no dir
ference what he wants, the average feed r.
as he shovels the usual mess into the
manger, feels that the horse should be
thankful that he gets even that, and can
not for the life of him under
stand why, when the oppor-
tanity is offered, the horse will
leave corn, oats or hay for the dirty and
non-expensive clay-bank. But clay is
non-nitrogenous substance, and the horse
knows, if MS owner doesn't, that every bit
of food that has gone into his mouth for a
long while is of highly heterogeneous char
acter, and he wants q change. But there is
just as much christianity in feeding a
horse Intelligently as in eating intelligent
ly ourselves, and we all know how, every
once in while, our mouths water" for a
change from what has been our regular
diet. The very best change that can be
made from corn, oats or hay is rich young
grass. Its succuleDt juices impart a
strength and vitality to the system that can
be obtained from nothing else, and every
enc knows that season at grass is a
sure and safe cure for nearly all the ills
that horse-hesh is heir to. But this is ex-
pensive, and there are few who have the
opportunity of so doing, or wish to be
without his services while his system is be-
ing so recuperated. Unusual quantities OF
grass are the best for working horse, for
the laxative effects are weakening to the
muscles, and, should the animal then be
called on for extra exeItion. some other
part of his body might suffer In conse-
guence. The manufacturers of many of
the prepared foods for stock that food our
markets claim that their preparations have
the same effects as grass, without its de-
bilitating effect, and while it is not our
province to push the claims of any of these
foods, we have every reason to believe that
q good food OF the conditional character is
a valuable addition to the diet of any AMI
NAL, and that with it they would be
healthier, harder and cheaper in the long
run.
In the matter of feeding, too much care
can not be exercised, as on the ability of
the horse TO properly assimilate into his
system the feed he eats depends his useful
ness. He should be given that which is
the easiest digested, so that all the nutri-
fious parts will be absorbed into his sys
tenn and go to make bone, flesh. and fiber,
while the balance will pass off as excrement.
During the last few years there has been
more care exercised in this, and as conse.
quence the average horse to-day is better
than ever before; but we do not think that
perfection has yet been reached, and We
hope that it never will be, but that there
maybe always room for improvement.

Bran for the Cow.
National Live Stock Journal

lNat1onal Live STOCK Journal
The fresh COW at this time of the year Is
q frst-Iate farm animal to use her full
capacity for profit. Nothing else can be
fed the COW that will give such quick and
gratifying returns as wheat bran made in
q slop by scalding. 1t Is doubtful whether
bran is ever too high-priced to feed fresh
COWS for a month when they are first
turned out on grass. 1t will be found to
be of great worth during the entire grass
season in keeping up steady and often
increasing flow of milk. The calf, too,
will fatten better on such milk, and will
be free from Interruptions in making a
steady growth.
Any farmer who has practiced the kind
OF economy that involves extra cost, at
tended by proportiorately greater profit
will quick y perceive an opening in this
method for added gains. This applies par
tIcularly to the wheat growing regions, bat
is nowhere out of place. Even the most
ordinary milk cow will respond generously
when given such feed. Three COWS treated
thus are EQUAL to FIVE neglected ones. Only
to few will this be otherwise than a re-
hinder.
